Congrats on your first claim hopeevey! I remember my first ever claim forever ago. Oh I was on pins and needles over doing everything right... Kind of like I am now having to stop claiming until ATCs arrive is like like agony when you want to claim more! lol.

I am punishing myself with this month's round in that I am not allowed to sign up until I get some Christmas crafting done. Hopefully that will get my butt into gear! Ive been having so much fun with them again!

Also, I can now admit my long time secret hope and dream of having an ATC featured in one of the cover photos. I was so excited to see it!

Yes, I think I'm going to have to opt out of the rest of this month's swap, at least until after I finish some holiday crafting and preparing for my ATC workshop

And it's funny, because I've always wanted to have an ATC in the banner too So jillybeans, this month you made two crafters happy!

ORGANIZER NOTE: Hey everyone! Just a reminder that you need to send me those 4 pieces of information whenever you send or receive an ATC. Those 4 pieces of information are due date, who sent to who, and theme. I've noticed that a lot of people are forgetting to send me this information, and it makes updating the swap double the time when I have to go looking for all the information myself. So, PLEASE, due dates, due dates, DUE DATES! I find it the most helpful when I'm sending my sent and received notifications to go and copy the information directly from the swap thread into a pm, so that way I know what I'm sending iS accurate and what is needed. Thanks!

And oh no :/ two red notes back to back when I'm looking around. Not good... I'm paranoid I forgot to add my due dates now... I swear I always put mine somewhere but ah I think I need to double check now. I'm sorry if I did forget jillybeans!!!

I've been out of the craftster loop for a while now. Things were pretty rough for me in my personal life, but they're all back on track and better than ever. I'm going to join the January ATC swap as soon as it opens. I hope you all don't mind the return of me and my monsters. I can't wait!
